Alien Cam

The Alien Cam from Fixe is ideal when you are looking for something that will place quick and easy in vertical parallel cracks.

A flexible stem makes them great for placing on sloping horizontal cracks too. Color coded webbing allows you to quickly recognize the cam that you need so you spend less time finding the right equipment and more time climbing.

Beware- the website picture shows the yellow and grey cam reversed from the size order-biggest to smallest. The pulldown order box only shows sizes and doesn't reference which color each size is. The pictures shows the yellow as next to largest when in fact the grey is 2nd largest. I wanted to order the yellow cam and didn't know what size it was so ordered the 2nd largest size- 7/8. Now I have to return the grey cam I got, and don't have time to re-order for Christmas.

Just like the old Aliens, but with no quality assurance issues. (Hurray!) If you don't know anything about the old aliens, they are the standard for Yosemite big wall climbers, and for good reason, they do amazing work in flaring cracks, due to there narrow head, light weight, and excellent flexibility. I love mine, and found they have been well worth the money, if your into trad or aid, you gotta get ya some.
